Grow Your Business

Area Business Growth and Change

Huntingdon County has experienced significant economic changes over the past decade. Between 2001 and 2011, the number of business establishments in Huntingdon County rose from 954 to 1011. Over much of this time, the sectors which gained the most employment were service oriented and mostly white collar and urban jobs. Historically, labor flowed outward from Huntingdon to the larger surrounding areas. However, with the county's economic diversification and greater self-sufficiency, this is becoming less common.
